Nicklaus watched Tiana in her sleep. He had been watching her for a while now, but he never seemed to get tired. How could he? She was the only thing he ever wanted and now she was his.He looked out the window, it was almost midday but they were still in bed and Tiana was sleeping. He was relieved that she was safe even though his demon had taken over completely last night. It had scared him but Tiana hadn't been scared.She had still wanted him and for the first time, he hadn't despised his demon. He had accepted it instead and it brought a strange feeling of freedom. No more demon crawling under his skin anymore, rather, he and his demon had become one.This made him remember the strange man's words. Don't fight your demon too much, accept it instead. How did the man know that he would find peace if he accepted his demon? Whoever the man was, he wanted to meet him again.Nicklaus gazed at his wife again. His foolishly courageous wife. To seduce him even though he had warned her cle
Nicklaus left as he told her he needed to take care of a few things and Tiana just laid in her bed, daydreaming about him. she had Reilla to thank for everything that happened. She wished she was here, she felt lonely without her.Was she alright? What if something really bad is happening to her in this moment and she was just laying here in her bed?"My Lady?"Startled Tiana sat up and turned her head. "Reilla!" Tiana almost jumped out bed. She smiled."Where were you? You made me worried." She looked at Tiana confused."You were worried about me?" She asked."Yes why not?""I am just a maid My Lady?""I... I thought we were friends."Damn, Tiana hated this. she knew that it never worked to be friends with a maid. She had already tried with Margret and Sandra and they would always say the same 'A princess and a maid can never be friends'. They were right, she was naive to think that.How could they see her as a friend when they had to serve her all the time?"We are if that's what yo
"Are we really escaping?" Tiana asked"Yes" Nicklaus said packing a few things.Oh, lord. Reilla was right."Klaus," Tiana called grabbing his arms "I know you are doing this for me but I really, really, really don't mind you marrying Rita.""Do you want me to marry her and then isolate her somewhere?" That was terrible. No women deserve to be treated that way."No.""Then you don't mind me touching her, kissing her and taking her to bed?" He said frustration clear in his tone.No. she didn't like that either. Looking at her hands she tried to come up with something to say that made sense, but nothing came to mind. She was confused and scared."Listen Tiana." Nicklaus said taking her hands. "I don't want to marry Rita because I don't want to neglect her. I know how it feels, I have been neglected my whole life. If I don't ignore her it means I have to be with her, and I don't want that either. I don't want to be with anyone but you."Tiana never thought about what he wanted. It would
Nicklaus laid facing the other side and Tiana wondered if he was angry with her. "Are you angry with me?" she asked."Why would I be?""I don't know" she whispered. Nicklaus turned around facing her."I am not angry." He said his voice soft. If he wasn't angry, there was something else he wasn't telling her."Will you hold me then while we rest?"Without waiting Nicklaus drew her into his arms and after a while, he fell asleep. Tiana was very tired as well after being awake the whole night but she didn't want to sleep since Nicklaus would leave after they woke up, she wanted to be awake and savor the feel of being in his arms. But she couldn't.Reilla’s words kept on replaying in Tiana’s head and it made her stomach twist in fear. What if something happened to Nicklaus? What if he never came back? Maybe she should have convinced him to marry Rita."You haven't slept?" Nicklaus asked surprised when he woke up."I wasn't very tired." Tiana lied to no avail."Tiana, you don't need to wor
They threw them into a cellar with their hands tied behind their back."Don't touch the Lady. The crown prince wants her untouched." Their commander told the men. His gaze shifted to Rex."You can do whatever you want with him." He said and left. The two men that were left with them walked toward Rex with a smug look on their faces."Leave him alone if you care to live." Tiana told them. Turning their head, they looked at her."You can't kill me because the crown prince wants me alive. Before you take me to him Nicklaus will already be here and if he finds that one of his men is dead or hurt he won't be happy." Tiana said with verdict in her voice. "I don't think you have seen him unhappy, have you?"They looked at each other, one of them clearly more scared than the other."Trust me you don't want to see him like that?" she added."That's only rumors. Don't try and scare us, Lady." One of them said."Hahaha! Rumors?" Tiana laughed. " There is no smoke without fire and oh...you should
Rita made her wear dirty torn clothes, she put mud on her face and hair and tied her hands. "If you look like a beggar no one will ever suspect you are a princess." She explained.Tiana was angry at first. Was she making fun of her? But as they passed many guards and none of them even looked their way she guessed Rita was right. She must really have looked like a slave bought by her from the way she rode her horse and Tiana was being dragged behind with her hands tied. She still hated her for this, but she had to admit she was smart and she was helping her.Once they passed the guarded place they stopped near a lake and she gave her something to eat. Tiana had never been so hungry in her life before so she ate quickly."What happened to your leg?""I really don't know. I think it's swollen from all the sitting and walking or maybe I sprained it." Tiana explained. Rita just nodded and looked away."Why did you save me?" Tiana asked."I promised Nicklaus to protect you the way he would
Rita couldn't help but stare at the mesmerizing beauty in front of her. How could a man possible look like this?She took in every detail. The perfectly sculpted face, the defined eyebrows, the flaming eyes, the sharp nose, lips made to kiss and a flawless skin. And his hair, it was long, thick and black and shone in the sunlight. Rita realized that none of his hair was out of place or dirty even though they had spent the whole day on a battlefield.The prince leaned down and reached behind her. His scent reached her nostrils, he smelled so nice. He should smell of sweat and blood after killing almost all her men.After hearing a cutting sound Rita’s hands were free. Before she could stand up he grabbed her jaw and made her look at him. "Don't ever think of running." He warned his voice low.Rita was never the obedient type but she found herself nodding. He slowly let go of her face and her body tingled with carnal awareness as his fingertips brushed her skin. It terrified her. She ne
Tiana woke up feeling sore. Sleeping on the floor wasn't the most pleasant thing when you were used to sleeping on luxurious beds.Rita sat leaning against a tree with eyes closed. Was she asleep? It looked really uncomfortable to be sleeping that way. Yawning, Tiana tried to get up but almost cried as a sharp pain stabbed her leg. Sitting back down quickly she looked at her foot, it had swollen more."What happened?" Rita was suddenly next to me.Frowning in pain "My leg has gotten worse." Tiana replied. Tiana looked at it closely. "I think we need to take you to a doctor.""Is that possible?" In the current situation, it would be difficult to find a doctor.Rita ran her fingers through her hair. She could see the confusion on her face. "We have to. You could lose your leg since we don't know what caused the swelling." Rita stood up and gave Tiana her hand to help her up. Then she helped her walk to the horse. "We need to get to the city." She said as she helped her climb the horse.

Nicklaus sat at the end of the table. To his right side, his family were sitting and to his left side the family who had saved him. They were dining and chatting happily. Nicklaus looked at each one of them and warmth filled his chest.Once in his life, he had been completely alone. He had no mother at all and no father who cared for him. His siblings were his main enemies and he had no friends. There was no one who knew what he was and no one had cared to know. Even he didn't know who he was. He had been confused, sad, lost and alone. He had given up on life. Until he met her. His wife.The woman who brought light in his dark world, the woman who brought happiness on his gloomy world. The woman who warmed his cold heart and comforted him when he was alone and sad and defended him when he was bullied. She took the darkness away and borough happiness and bliss in his life. Not only did she bring happiness, she gave him a priceless gift their daughter.Tiana. His joy and day light. His
When Tiana heard his footstep she looked up and put the letter away quickly. There were tears in her eyes that she tried to hide."Is your mother fine?" Nicklaus asked as he walked closer.Tiana nodded. "She is fine." She smiled giving him a comforting look. Nicklaus sat next to her on the bed. "When do you want to go and see her? Or do you want her to come here?” He asked hating to see her sad. They had planned to meet Tiana’s mother, but back then Tiana postponed it because of pregnancy and after giving birth raising a child took most of her time. Tiana mother was also queen mother and had a lot of thing to do back in Nephus. But the two would always write letter for each other.Tiana looked at Nicklaus, she has been planning to meet her mother but she had to postpone it. “Not any time soon, Briella is still young to travel.” She said then carefully she reached for Briella. Once Briella was in her arms a smile lit up her face."I can't believe she grew so fast. It feels like I gave
Six months later.The sun shone brightly in the blue sky and the warm seasonal breeze spread the scent of flowers in the air. But despite the beautiful weather and view, all Nicklaus could do was stare at his now six-month-old daughter in his arms. Nothing was more beautiful to him in this world.The last six months of his life had been a blessing. He was surrounded by people he cared for. His wife, his daughter, his mother even his father. The relationship between Nicklaus and his father had become better since that talk they had six months ago. Now Uziah was even living with them in the castle but sometime his parent would go back to their hidden nest. What more could Nicklaus wish for?Tiana was well and healthy, and an amazing mother. She was also a wise empress. Nicklaus was proud of his wife. Now being half demon, half witch, she became even stronger and emitted magnificence and confidence. Now he wasn't afraid to hurt her as before and they could go wide with their activities…
"Your Majesty. I need to clean the princess." The midwife said with a pleading look when Nicklaus didn't want to let go of his daughter.Tiana chuckled. "Okay Klaus give the baby to the midwife so she could clean her and then I can feed her.” She said and Nicklaus unwillingly handed Briella over to the midwife carefully.But he had forever to spend with these two precious people and he began by spending time with them today. He was still very emotional and all he wanted to do was hold both his daughter and wife in his arms. As they lay in their bed, Nicklaus leaned in and planted a kiss on Tiana’s forehead."Thank you for this beautiful gift. Love you so much wife." He said and then looked at their daughter who was sleeping between them."Love you too Klaus…" Was all Tiana said, as she was falling asleep as well. He could see the exhaustion on her face.Nicklaus kissed her on the forehead one more time before slowly getting out of bed. His mother had kept her distance, probably letti
And then the day came, after a few painful days, the pain hit Tiana like never before. She remembered telling the midwife to just take the baby out and make it all end and sometimes she really thought she would die. The pain was so much that she felt her mind go numb. Then she heard the cry of her child and the pain fled to the back of my head in a flash, so far back she didn't even know or care that she was in pain few seconds ago. The melodious cry of her baby was enough for her to forget all the pain she went through just seconds ago. All she wanted was to hold her child."You have given birth to a princess, Your Majesty." The midwife said sounding sympathetic. Everyone knew that Tiana always thought that her child was a boy while the emperor always wanted a girl and would always call it little princess and the couple would always end up quarrelling about the gender of their child. The midwife was just sympathetic because Tiana didn’t get a boy like she always wanted but a girl th
One night as Rita and Tiana spent time together but Rita seemed sad and absent. "What's wrong?" Tiana asked. But riata being Rita just shook her head. "Nothing.""Is it about your marriage? Did you and Kwan have a fight?""No, we didn’t have a fight, Kwan have been so sweet and understanding. It about my brother, I think he know about Kwan being a demon.” Rita said.And Tiana almost laughed out loud but pushed it down by coughing instead. She found it funny that this was the reason why rite was so distracted. Derek and Kwan had been together during the war and even if he didn’t know about Kwan’s true nature in the past, he would have learnt about it during the war in human land. so hearing Rita’s concern, Tiana found it cute but she could not blame her, the woman was not there during the war, and dint know what might have happened there so too her, she still thinks her brother who is the ruler of all werewolves doesn’t know about demons and that Kwan is one of them. So cute and innoce
Five-month later….Thing were in line, the affected kingdoms like Nephus and Zavion were already back in their feet. Human clan had Leo as their king with twelve other rulers of each state. And the same was for other clans too with Nicklaus and Tiana being the supreme leaders. Crystal city was back in its full glory under the leadership of Yael and Rex who were now married and Yael was expecting a child too. Everything was peaceful and harmonious and those who were not happy about unify of the land, were now happy about it after seeing and experiencing the benefit of it.On Tiana side, her pregnancy was now big and showy. Pregnancy was not easy as she thought. It may be a happy thing but it had its difficulties, it come with insecurities and body changes that first time may shock you and on top of that was fear, she realized that as her stomach grew. She became more and more afraid and worried, she was worried about all the things that could go wrong during labor. The stories she read
“You may live…”“Thank you so…” Rafael thanked Nicklaus cutting him from completing his word but was cut off by Nicklaus next words “but… you will show Leo all the hidden labs in this kingdom and other kingdoms. Don’t try to lie because I can read you mind. If you don’t want to die like your master… give us the name of all the hidden labs and tell us everything you know and you will live. You choice.” Nicklaus said leaving Rafael to Kwan who the handed him to Leo and his men. “He will give you names and places of all the hidden labs, destroy them and then you can see what to do with him.” Kwan told Leo before following Nicklaus.Nicklaus’ group didn’t lose much in the battle. The casualties they suffered in terms of deaths and injured were still in an acceptable range. And those who were injured and died were the vampires. The demons had no casualties on their side. Gabriel Abel Noah and Maria were dead and Rafael was imprisoned by Leo as they continued uncovering secret layouts of N
